Abstract:
This paper aims at to discuss the Tragtenberg's argument founded in Bureaucracy and ideology according to which the State generates society at the Asiatic mode of production. This argument demands, according to Tragtenberg, a return from Marx to Hegel and an acceptance of Hegel-Marx continuity. Our discussion shows that Tragtenberg take as valid the Hegelian aphorism, which determines the State (and its bureaucracy) as the demiurge of society as consequence of a problematic amalgam between Marx and Hegel, notwithstanding the many inconsistencies that rise from it.
